    An amazing Park that's huge! Perfect on sunny days for picnics and treks! The scenic view from the top of the hill is beautiful and we'll worth the climb! It's great to look over London in the sun!

    Wonderful view out over London with loads of space for walks & picnics. The hill is not too steep, but provides a decent level of resistance for a challenging jog. It's popular with dog walkers.

    One of the best central parks to enjoy scenic panoramic London views. Worth visiting during the day and on sunset time.

    Great outdoor park with plenty of places to sit and relax. Take in the fabulous views of London or exercise in the outdoor gym. There’s also a cafe playground and toilets on the premises.

    Fresh & green, laid-back leisure meadows, the spot to have a weekend picknick, celebrate your outdoor birthday (decorate a tree) or meet friends at the bathing lake. Great for cycling, city view incl.

    This is on the North Side of Regents Park. Good for a warmer day, you can walk up the hill and see the city from the north looking south. The park is in lots of movies. Don't go when its cold or rainy

    Take a stroll on a sunny Saturday to see amazing scenic views of London, wrap up warm to fend off the wind. Public ponds available for swimming too.

    One of my favourite places in London. It can get a little crowded these days but if you go mid-morning to early afternoon on a weekday you may get some solitude. Camden is only a short walk away.

    Lovely view and fresh air. Been there for the New Year's Eve. Perfect spot to watch the fireworks if you want to avoid the overcrowded streets.

    Fantastic view of central London and the big buildings, great to take a panorama shot.Also a beautiful place to find a bit of shade and just relax on the grass.

    The best view of Central London & The City, bar none. Other central parks lack a hill. SW London (Wimbledon, Crystal Palace...) may give you a nice view of the east but PH is the best for the west.

    The views, oh the views. Obviously this is better on a clear sunny day. If you're feeling up for it, do a few runs up and down the hill. Or, just watch others do it.

    Ace for summer picnics — aim for the heathy bit in the middle at the top, bring all your supplies with you though it's a long walk down to the deli's and shops.

    Be sure to climb all the way to the top for a panoramic view of London! This is a nice free alternative to a flight on the expensive London Eye.

    Open and lit late night, unlike most parks in London. Also, great view from the hill.

    Even on an overcast day, there's a wonderful view. The neighborhood itself is lovely to walk around and full of history -- including the homes of Sylvia Plath, W.B. Yeats, and Friedrich Engels.
